Frequently Asked Questions

I have had a gun 6 years old can I still buy new for old cover?

Yes, just make sure the value you provide reflects the current new value of the gun or its replacement.

My gun is no longer made what value do I select?

For new for old cover use the new cost of the updated model. For Indemnity cover use the current market value of a second-hand gun.

I have an old English shot gun – what cover do I need?

We would suggest you consider an Agreed value basis of cover – this is the current market value as provided by a RFD in writing to you at least in the last 5 years. This cover option has a £0 excess. If you want a cheaper premium, consider Indemnity cover which is again based on market value (without the RFD notice) but this has an excess based on the age of the gun – ranges from 10% to 30%.

I am going outside the UK for a holiday

You can select overseas cover for 21 days at £30 additional premium – you must advise newmoon of the dates as the policy schedule needs to be updated to show this extension

No this is not insured as an accessory

Can I set up a policy in joint names for myself and my son
